Could I please get some advice about a Goodrich 7A matchbox, just received it today, never used one before, it has an on-off switch, I know it is to disconnect the battery, if I turn the switch off I get no signal at all, is this normal? I have a Session 400, Emmons SD 10 push pull, a Boss DD3 pedal, a Goodrich 120 volume pedal. How should I use these to gather. Thanks in advance. Jim Goins.  |

It uses TWO batteries, and yes the switch turns it off. Make sure the two 9V batteries are fresh.
This is how I use it,
Steel > Matchbox > Volume Pedal > AMP , in this manner the signal going to the MB is consistent and not controlled by the V Pedal.
I find it to be a reasonably nice unit, easy to adjust EQ and GAIN as you are playing. But I don't like anything that requires batteries with no option of a Power Supply .
I'm thinking about using the " no battery required " connectors , I think they are 3 or 4 bucks each from the big outlets.

| Thanks Tony. I use a Boss DD3 delay pedal, wondered if anyone used a DD3 behind the match box? I wonder why Goodrich didn't give the option of a power supply? I assume it would be, 18 volts, thus two 9 volt batteries. Jim Goins. |

| I use Steel - 7A Matchbox - DD-3 - Volume Pedal - Amp. Sounds fine to me. |

| There really isn't any need for a wall wart, the batteries last forever. |
